AVE is an organization focused on strategic socioeconomic issues on which the region needs to work on.

Through discussion and communication, we aim to promote socioeconomic development, competitiveness and territorial integration of Valencia’s region.

We identify and analyze our current challenges and try to create the right social and political conditions to turn these into strengths and opportunities, trhough dialogue and consensus amongst social leaders in our country.

And we do so because we are convinced that in a complex, dynamic, changing and globalized society that we are living in, dialogue and negotiation shall prevail over conflict and confrontation.

This website aims to be a mean of communication with society, regarding our activities, mission and goals.

About us

AVE is a voluntary and non-profit association that was incorporated in the early 80’s, bringing together 100 of the most outstanding business leaders in the Valencian Region.

What do we do?

We believe that the role of business people is essential to develop a territory and a prosperous, creative and democratic society.

We are committed to inform and raise awareness amongst the society about the threats and opportunities that lie ahead as well as the weaknesses and strengths we are currently facing. For this, it is necessary to create opinion, dialogue and consensus amongst main political, economic and social actors in our region, and hence contribute to regional integration and the creation of an increasingly cohesive, flexible and creative society.

Our collaborators
